The VLAN information within an Ethernet frame is referred to as a tag or

tagged header. A tag, which follows the source and destination addresses

in a frame, contains the VID of the VLAN to which the frame belongs (IEEE

802.3ac standard). This number uniquely identifies each VLAN in a

network.

When the switch receives a frame with a VLAN tag, referred to as a tagged

frame, the switch forwards the frame only to those ports that share the

same VID.

A port that receives or transmits tagged frames is referred to as a tagged

port. Any network device connected to a tagged port must be IEEE

802.1Q-compliant. This is the standard that outlines the requirements and

standards for tagging. The device must be able to process the tagged

information on received frames and add tagged information to transmitted

frames.

Tagged and

Untagged Ports

You need to specify which ports are members of the VLAN. In the case of

a tagged VLAN, it is usually a combination of both untagged ports and

tagged ports. You specify which ports are tagged and which untagged

when you create the VLAN.

An untagged port, whether a member of a port-based VLAN or a tagged

VLAN, can be in only one VLAN at a time. However, a tagged port can be

a member of more than one VLAN. A port can also be an untagged

member of one VLAN and a tagged member of different VLANs

simultaneously.
